This post upset me so much that I called the Humane society here in NY to ask if any critically ill animal would be turned away because of its owner unability to pay up front. Unfortunately, I could not reach anyone because of the holiday (that in its self upet me). I cannot believe that any clinic would let an animal die for lack of money. Luckily, my Vet is worth her weight in Gold. I had a Maltese that became very ill in his later years, I've had to call her 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning and she never blinked an eye. She would have us meet her in her office at whatever time day or night. |
